No! Just making a member static does not make it thread safe!!!!! What that blurb in the docs means is that Microsoft has added the necessary code to the static members of the class to make them thread safe.

Basically, you can use the lock operator in c# or Monitor.Enter to make your class thread safe.

>Thread Safety
>Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

>I have seen this for several classes in the help documentation, but what does it acctually mean. Why is it so important to use static members in a muti-threaded environment?
